Thanks again for your suggestions, Gunnar. I copied your commands directly from here to the terminal, so it is not a typo.
Strangely, setting env LANG with firefox or thunderbird actually worked on the last three Ubuntu versions, even though it may be incorrect to run it this way. I was able to run an English instance of Thunderbird, for example, by using env LANG. I have opened a separate bug report here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/792735 and supplied more information to track down the problem. Any suggestions would be welcome! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/553162 Title: Set $LANGUAGE if the user picks a different locale in gdm, so that language-selector and gdm stop disagreeing -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
